- Synopsis
- Abigail Meredith, a 16 year-old girl goes west with a saddle train in 1862 with 14 rough men. Her father was lost in a Civil War battle and her mother died so her only relative, besides a long-lost older brother, is her father's sister, Aunt Mary. Aunt Mary sent her $50 for her fee to come to the Idaho Territory to live with her. But when Gail gets to Bannock, Idaho she discovered that her aunt has died. She has been carefully reared and at first decides that she has to have someone take care of her. Flo, an older lady whom she meets, tells her that she will have to keep herself so she gets a job for her room and board in a boarding house. Slowly the town grows. Gail is appointed the first teacher in the territory. There are several young men and Gail gets to wear her fine gowns brought from Boston when she is taken to dances. Slowly her whole personality changes and she finds love. This was an interesting peek into history of the settlements of gold towns in the old west.
